In solitudine cordisB

Esto sertis implicataC
femina delicataC
Per quam solvuntur peccataC

Sicut beneficum LetheD
Hauriam oscula de teC
Quae imbuta es magneteC
-
Quum vitiorum tempegtasB
Turbabat omnes semitasB
Apparuisti DeitasB
-
Velut stella salutarisB
In naufragiis amarisB
Suspendam cor tuis arisB
-
Piscina plena virtutisB
Fons tern juventutisB
Labris vocem redde mutisB
-
Quod erat spurcum cremastiC
Quod rudius exaequastiC
Quod debile confirmastiC

In fame mea tabernaE
In nocte mea lucernaE
Recte me semper gubernaE
-
Adde nunc vires viribusB
Dulce balneum suavibusB
Unguentatum odoribusB

Meos circa lumbos micaF
O castitatis loricaF
Aqua tincta seraphicaF

Patera gemmis coruscaF
Panis salsus mollis escaF
Divinum vinum FranciscaF

In Praise of My FrancesB
-
I'll sing to you on a new noteC
O young hind that gambols gailyC
In the solitude of my heartC
-
Be adorned with wreaths of flowersB
O delightful womanE
By whom our sins are washed awayG
-
As from a benign LetheD
I shall drink kisses from youH
Who were given a magnet's strengthD
-
When a tempest of vicesB
Was sweeping down on every pathD
You appeared O divinityC
-
Like the star of salvationE
Above a disastrous shipwreckF
I shall place my heart on your altarI
-
Reservoir full of virtueH
Fountain of eternal youthD
Restore the voice to my mute lipsB
-
You have burned that which was filthyC
Made smooth that which was roughJ
Strengthened that which was weakF
-
In my hunger you are the innE
In the darkness my lampK
Lead me always on virtue's pathD
-
Add your strength now to my strengthD
Sweet bath scentedC
With pleasant perfumesB
-
Shine forth from my loinsB
O cuirass of chastityC
That was dipped in seraphic waterI
-
Cup glittering with precious stonesB
Bread seasoned with salt delectable dishL
Heavenly wine My FrancesB

Praises of My FrancescaF
-
-
Verses to a learned and devout MillinerI
-
-
Upon new chords of you I singF
And the new born bud you bringF
From solitude the pure heart's SpringF
-
Your brows should be with garlands twinedC
Woman of delightful mindC
Who our trespasses unbindC
-
As the wondrous balm of LetheD
Through thy kisses I will breathe theeD
All are magnetised who see theeD
-
When my vices wild and stormyD
From my wonted courses bore meD
It was You appeared before meD
-
Star of Oceans you that alterI
Courses when the pilots falterI
Take my heart upon your altarI
-
Cistern full of virtuous ruthD
Fountain of eternal youthD
Give to dumbness speech and truthD
-
What was dirty you crematedC
What uneven you equatedC
What was weak you re createdC
-
Inn on the hungry roads I trampK
And in the dark a guiding lampK
To steer the lost one back to campK
-
To my strength add strength O sweetC
Bath where scents and unguents meetC
Anoint me for some peerless featC
-
Holy water most seraphicF
On the lusts in which I trafficF
Flash your chastity ecstaticF
-
Bowl of gems where radiance dancesB
Salt that the holy bread enhancesB
And sacred wine your name is FrancesB
-
-
Translated by Roy CampbellM
-
Francescae Meae LaudesB
-
I shall sing new chords O hindC
As you gambol unconfinedC
Through my solitary mindC
-
Rest adorned with wreaths of flowersB
Comely woman whose vast powersB
Wash away these sins of oursB
-
As from Lethe's stream I shallN
Drink your kisses one and allO
Magnet like and magicalM
-
When our vices stormilyM
Swept down every path with gleeM
You approved O DeityM
-
Like the bright star of salvationE
Amid shipwreck's desolationE
Take my heart in rapt oblationE
-
Source of every good and storeI
Of eternal youth restoreI
Song to my mute lips once moreI
-
What was foul you calcinatedM
What was rough you IevigatedM
What was weak you stimulatedM
-
In my hunger you the innE
In my dark the lamp and inE
Your pale hands an end to sinE
-
Add your strength to mine new sentM
Sweet bath ever redolentM
Of the suaver perfumes blentM
-
From my loins gleam radiantlyM
O cuirass of chastityM
Steeped in balm seraphicallyM
-
Cup with precious gems ashineE
Savory bread celestial wineE
Blessed food Francesca mineE
